Many people have forgotten that in fact, Duke's professional swimming career started from the 400, he started by swimming the 400, and then moved to the 100 and other strokes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Duke represented the national swimming team at the 2012 Asian Swimming Championships, where he competed in the 400 free and the 100 free.

But after the National Swimming Championships in April 2013, Duke never swam the 400 free.

"Actually, 400 self is not a new sub for you, you return to 400 self, this is called returning to the old business." Director Luo said to Du Ke.

Duke: "But I voluntarily gave up the 400 two years ago. ”

Coach Luo: "This is different from the past, before the 2013 World Championships, you were just a little famous in China, at most in Asia. At that time, the star of the swimming team was Sun Yang, and now, Sun Yang has to listen to you......"

Du Ke smiled and waved his hand: "Luo Gui praised, I can't command Lao Sun." ”

Director Luo analyzed logically and clearly: "The situation at that time was that you and Sun Yangbing were divided into two ways, you mainly attacked the short distance, he focused on the middle and long distance, and the two of you divided the troops to fight to play the Barcelona World Championships." Now there is just over a year to go until the Olympics, and everything must be the most important thing for the overall situation of the country, and the Olympic Games every four years are definitely more important than the World Championships every two years. ”

"Biederman's men's 400 world record is 3:40.07, Duke, after you adopt the new turning technique, you can basically break the original world record by a large margin, as a professional coach who has been in the industry for decades, if I can't see you complete this feat with my own eyes in my lifetime, I will not be in the coffin." The seventy-year-old coach wiped his tears.

"Hey, Director Luo, don't say that......" Duke couldn't cry or laugh, and then helped Director Luo to sit on the chair to rest.

Director Luo is also an old actor, and after wiping away the old tears, he was kind and seductive: "Rochette and Phelps are not only teammates, but also rivals for each other, in the Olympic Games and the World Championships, for ten years, they both signed up for the medley event at the same time, you win the championship this year, and I will win it next year, and take turns to sit in the village." This is normal, you and Sun Yang can also be matched in this way, in the 400 self project, you two should not divide the troops into two ways, but join forces and point to Rio! ”

"The National Swimming Championships in April, Du Ke, you must participate in some individual events, this year's championship is actually the Kazan World Championships Trials, you have to brush the 100 self and 100 back World Championships tickets, and then I will give you a 400 self, you also brush a 400 self World Championships tickets. At the World Championships in Kazan, you and Sun Yang participated in the 400 freestyle to prepare for the Rio Olympics, so let's do it. Anyway, our provincial team can swim 400 self alone, and the number of people participating in the men's 400 self in the national championship is not enough, Du Ke, you go to make up the number, just consider it as a contribution to the provincial team, you haven't contributed to our provincial swimming team for a long time. ”

"You swipe out the 400 tickets first, and the Kazan World Championships will not let you go to 400, but I think Director Qin and Director Qian are not fools, people who can be a few seconds faster than the original world record, do not let him participate in the World Championships, this is an obstacle to the progress of swimming."

Du Ke no longer shirked: "Then do as Luo said." ”

So Duke's first schedule for 2015 was roughly laid out.

The 2015 National Swimming Championships and Kazan Swimming World Championships Trials will be held on April 9~16.

The 50-meter four swimming styles, 100 frogs, 100 butterflies, and 200-meter four swimming styles + 200 mixed and 400 mixed are a total of 12 individual events. The tickets for the Kazan World Championships in these 12 individual events, Du Ke has already swiped out, he registered for these 12 swimming events at the Incheon Asian Games, and his Asian Games results are his individual registration results for the Kazan World Championships.

However, Du Ke did not participate in the 100 self and 100 back events at the Incheon Asian Games, and the last time he made an official 100 free and 100 back was at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona.

For the Kazan World Championships, Duke's 100 self and 100 back results have expired, so Du Ke needs to re-brush the 100 self and 100 back World Championship tickets.

That's the rule, superstars also have to swipe tickets, Kosuke Kitajima and Hackett didn't swipe tickets that year, so they still don't let them participate. It's unfair for a superstar to be able to enter without queuing up and not buying a ticket.

Including the 400 free, Du Ke will represent the Nanyue swimming team in three individual events at the National Swimming Championships in April.

In addition, Du Ke will definitely participate in the two mixed relay events of the championship, not for the Nanyue team, but for the national team.

Two new events will be added at the World Championships in Kazan, the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay and the mixed 4x100m medley relay.

Because it is a new event, the swimming teams of all countries have no results before, so everyone has to swipe the tickets for the two mixed relay races.

The usual practice of the Chinese national swimming team is to form a temporary national relay team in the domestic competitions recognized by FINA, and let this temporary relay team represent the Chinese team to compete with provincial teams and swipe tickets.

The swimming center and the national team have already greeted Duke in advance, and Duke will definitely swim one of the mixed relay races, and the specific swim will be discussed at that time.

Of course, the championship schedule is only a small part of Douce's annual schedule, which will be scheduled around the end of March and early April, and then it will be strictly followed.

Today is January 7, 2015, and Duke will leave the provincial swimming team in a week and report to the provincial track and field team.

The following week, Du Ke accepted a female disciple, Liu Xiang, as a grandmaster.

"Ah Xiang, you are the disciple I sent to open the door, and I will pass on what I have learned in my life to you as a teacher." Du Ke sat on the jumping platform, with his back to the pool, facing Liu Xiang, with a detached posture of fairy wind and bones.

"Master, please advise." Liu Xiang is quite cooperative.

Du Ke jumped off the platform and stopped joking, "Ah Xiang, you are terrible but it's a pity, the terrible thing is that you have won the championship of domestic professional competitions in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and other events, and I won the national championship in both self and backstroke swimming styles before I was 17 years old, and it is still an amateur event." ”

"It's a pity that you, who are proficient in all three swimming styles, are basically only attacking the 50 freestyle and 50 back, which is still a non-Olympic event. At the Olympics, if you get a quota, you can sign up for a 50 free, and the coaches may not arrange for you to participate in the competition, which is too restrictive for your career prospects. ”

Liu Xiang was also helpless: "My endurance reserves and lung capacity are not strong enough, and I have no energy to rush 50 meters." ”

Du Ke: "So, next you have to focus on endurance and lung capacity training, although endurance is related to the ratio of red and white muscles, and lung capacity is also related to congenital, but through intensive special training, these two qualities can also be improved." ”

"If you have 100 meters of endurance reserves, you can expand a lot of development routes at once, 100 free, 100 back, 100 butterfly, these are all Olympic events, except for the 4 * 200 meters freestyle relay, you can also participate in other relay races. You've competed in the 100m before, so get back into practice. ”

"I have demonstrated to you many times Rochette's anti-butterfly turn, I have simplified his turning technique and summarized it into four sentences, Ah Xiang, you know it by heart: the chest and waist are soft, the hips and hips are the axis, the anti-butterfly leg method, and the belt and two hold."

Liu Xiang repeated the heart formula: "The chest and waist are soft, the hips and buttocks are the axis, the anti-butterfly leg method, and the belt is two...... Are there any English words in this recipe? ”

Du Ke explained: "The main thing is to rhyme, the last sentence is actually the most critical, the first anti-butterfly leg is gently carried over, and the second anti-butterfly leg must be held, you can experience it mentally, that's what it means." If you have the stamina reserve to swim 100 meters through the devil's special endurance training, then you will have to do the 100 self first. 100 Ever since you turned around, you used my simplified Rochette turn technique to turn around, of course, provided you had to play well. ”

"Actually, Ah Xiang, you have an innate advantage, you swim well in backstroke and butterfly, and it is not difficult for you to reverse butterfly and positive butterfly, what you have to do is to practice repeatedly and understand it. My side butterfly turn is so difficult to learn, don't learn it yet, otherwise it will be a waste of time. ”

"And my modified women's simplified Roche turn is specially designed for you, if you use this trick in the women's 100 self competition, the future is bright. As a teacher, he is also very busy, and he will go to practice track and field in a few days, so he can only be like Zhang Sanfeng teaching Zhang Wuji to learn Tai Chi Sword. I hope you can understand the essence of this heart recipe, and the key is to train your blood volume, that is, endurance. ”

Liu Xiang was very moved, and made up her mind: "Master, I can understand your hard work." Don't worry, I've been practicing my endurance and lung capacity lately, even if I flatten my chest! (To be continued.) )
